Colleges and Newspaper work.
fpifsburgh Dispatch


The question as to the value of col
lege men for newspaper work is attract
ing some attention. Ii was started by
the regret of an orator at recent col
lege gathering that there are not more
college graduates engaged in Journal
lem (; which has been rejoined to by
some of the press with the declaration
that collegiate training does not add to
the value of q man for real hard news
paper work.
Although the instances of success in
journalism thSt have been won without
college-training may seem TO support
that view. it is erroneous. A real end
serviceable training at college will
help man to be good journalist, just
as il will help him to be good
merchant, manufacturer, or farmer.
And a college-training which makes
him think that he knows more than the
majority OF mankind will unfit him for
journalism, just as it will unfit him for
other active positions in life, until be

After preparatory studies in several prl-

College, London, and from thence to
St. Johns College, Cambridge, where
he was graduated in 1860 with honors.
In 1866 he was appointed a Fellow of
the ROYAL Astronomical Society of Eng
land and IN honorary Fellow of King $
College, London, in 1873. He edited
the proceedings of the Royal Astrono-
mical Society in 1S72-'73. In 1869 he
created great interest by maintaining
against the almost universal opinion OF
astronomers the theory of the solar
corona. and also that of the inner COM
pick solar atmosphere, this the dis
covery of Professor Young, both OF
which have since been accepted. Mr:
Proctor has lectured in all the principal
cities Of England, Canada, the United
States. New South Wales, Victori9,

make astronomy interesting, a gift rare
as well as most desirable.

The eve is a most instructive and

adapted to convey-through the agency

consulted, when practicable, in cases OF

reason great care should be taken to
keep this important organ in good

Delacroix, the famous painter, thinking
that the head Of Baron James Roths-
child would make splendid head for

While the artist was engaged on the
canvas one of the pupils entered and
told Delacroix that that was an ideal

for which the banker nodded his
thanks. Rothschild ascertained that

Abusing Bragg.

A rather dirty piece OF work has been
traced directly, it IS said, TO the imme-
diate associates Of tue man who deals
in three kinds Of paloirs in the Grand
Amy organization. General Bragg,
who was at one time at the head OF tnat
society, Las latterly given offence to
some OF lis members by opposing the
issue OF pensions to unworthy persons
There was 10 chance to overthrow his
array Of facts in these eases by agSu-
mont or counter-stntement, and the dis
appointed pension-grabbers turned their
attention to the Congcnial work OF black-
guarding him. 4 lampooD, in dog
eorel rhyme, came into the hands OF q
high officer Of the society, and tais
person, it is charged, had number OF
copies of the dirty staff printed AID
circulated. General Bragg has multi
iudes Of friends in the Grand Army
who Glove him for the enemies he his
made, who quite agree with him that
tke pcnsioning of deserters and noto-
rious maligners Is an outrage on
brave and faithful soldiers aswell as on
tie whole community. and they are
indignant at the official who has de-
graded lis high place by making it the
distributing point for scurrility, AMI
are inclined to hold his superior, the
palsy-peddler. responsible for the dis
graceful proceeding, inasmuch as the

where lie is supreme.
Occurrences of this kind will not
conduce to the maintenanceof harmony
in the great society of the soldiers, and
its well-wishers, who are wise enough
to understand that efforts to make it a
political machine tend directly and ia
fallibly to its destruction, should take
care that the responsible officers of the
association are hereafter chosen from
among different class than that which
produces political swashbucklers, who
